I mean no disrespect, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around someone who had the time to pick out and approve 6 different outfits to be laid out in, yet didn't feel any urgency to file a will for an $80 million estate. There's also the issue of the future stream of income from recordings. Maybe she had her reasons, and I understand it isn't our business, but I also can't help thinking it was a bit irresponsible under the circumstances. It just seems some charities or churches would have been better served, as opposed to the lawyers now licking their chops for a payday.

Her family planned the funeral. See post earlier in the thread.
